Organic Chemistry I – CHEM 201-DL01 September 26‚ 2014 Organic Chemistry Experiment 4B Lab Report Extraction of Organic Compounds From Natural Sources: Extraction of Trimyristin From Nutmeg Introduction The purpose of this experiment is to illustrate how a solid natural product can be extracted from its natural source through the use of an organic solvent. Natural products are organic compounds that are synthesized by natural biological processes in plants‚ animals

Bio 111-102 Homework #1‚ Lab 1 assignment My group examined the correlation between standing height and leg length in centimeters for ten of our classmates. Our supposition was that there would be a direct relationship and similarity between standing height in centimeters and leg length in centimeters. Therefore‚ our hypothesis was‚ if leg length increases‚ then standing height will also increase. 1) The steps for the scientific method are: • An observation is made • A question

Separation of the Components of a Mixture General Chemistry 1 (Chem 101)‚ ISP SCUHS Report 2 January 26‚ 2014 Abstract The analyses of mixture were to distinguish and identify homogeneous mixture by using the techniques of decantation and sublimation. By performing these techniques‚ we examined our solutions such as SiO2 (sand)‚ NH4Cl (ammonium chloride)‚ and NaCl (sodium chloride) and mixed H2O (water) with each solution after being heated. After examining our solutions‚ we made calculations

Abstract: This report presents the reason why the ocean does not freeze in the winter. Since the ocean consists of salt water‚ an experiment was done to test the effect of freezing on salt water compared to pure water. The experiment was conducted three times in order to obtain accurate results and eliminate errors. In addition to the salt and pure water experiment‚ a variation of this experiment was created to test other options. In the variation experiment the effect of freezing on sugar water

Crystallization: Lab Report Theory/Introduction The purpose of this lab is to understand the concept of purification through crystallization. Crystallization is the process of purifying a substance‚ with the most adequate solvent. The process of crystallization came to be based on the principle of solubility. First‚ we must choose a solvent. The solvent is crucial to crystallization because it’s what will allow impurities to dissolve. Therefore‚ when selecting a solvent it is important that it

Abstract This lab is performed in order to determine the total energy in a reaction between zinc and hydrochloric acid. The reaction is done twice‚ once to measure the heat of the reaction and again to determine the work done in the system. This is because Enthalpy equals heat plus work (∆H= ∆E+W). Heat and work can be broken down further into separate components so the equation used in lab is ∆H=mc∆T + PV. Many calculations are used in the lab to find out what cannot be measured directly (ex:

Carbohydrate Lab Report Introduction Qualitative identification of a substance is of significant importance in chemistry. Physical constants such as melting points have traditionally been used by organic chemistry for identification of unknown compounds. As for inorganic substances‚ the precipitation of a solid‚ results of a flame test‚ or the formation of a colored substance could all be keys to identifying a sample. Chromatography and spectra are amongst the newer techniques

EXPERIMENT NO. 1 INTRODUCTION TO LAB INSTRUMENTS. 1. BREADBOARD We should be familiar to the following things about a breadboard: * What is a breadboard and what is it used for? * How does it work? * Setting Up. * Limitations. What is a breadboard and what is it used for? A breadboard (or protoboard) is usually a construction base for prototyping of electronics. The term "breadboard" is commonly used to refer to a solderless breadboard (plugboard). It was designed by

Niharika Palakodety‚ Victoria Wang‚ and Grace Xiong Mrs. Rhonda Smith Honors Chemistry Period 4 13 May 2012 Redox Reactions Lab Report We wished to investigate the oxidation number of a metal that would form aqueous ions when reacted with an aqueous nitrate salt. For this purpose‚ we chose to investigate the reaction of solid copper metal‚ in the form of a wire‚ with aqueous silver nitrate. Before we began the lab‚ we hypothesized that when silver nitrate‚ AgNO3‚ reacts with copper‚ Cu‚ the
